Throughout his various Epistles, the Apostle Paul admonished us to stay awake – to “watch and be sober.”

People who are spiritually asleep generally have certain features about them. Some of them are as follows:

• secure, careless, and unconcerned about their souls

• negligent of their duties like prayer, Bible Study, fellowship with other believers, and witnessing regardless of their spiritual enemies or the warfare in which they are engaged

• given to a carnal security and sinful indulgences

• stupefied and blinded by besetting sins

• living as though there is no tomorrow or an eternity awaiting them when they leave this world
